An attack by Iran was so imminent Trump literally appointed a plumber to make sure we were prepared for it.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard put President Donald Trump on the phone with some of the FBI agents who had conducted a controversial search of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, last week, two sources familiar with the call told CNN.

Trump just issued a second pardon to the same man...for a different crime. That’s not mercy. That’s a loyalty currency. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This is chilling and must be heard to believe. And the fact that this is where we are says everything.

Imagine someone pulling an Oath Keeper aside, and saying, would you like to beat the living shit out of people you hate, maybe even kill a few…with no legal risk? Oh, and I’d give you $50k as a bonus…plus great pay. Interested? You don’t have to imagine it.

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term. No president since Clinton has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on such a scale. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

“YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes.”

Sen. Rand Paul: “what were their names” and “what was the evidence linking them to being part of a gang?” “The Coast Guard, when they interdict boats, … about 25% of the time the boat that they board doesn’t have drugs on it. So they have made an error, but they don’t kill them.”

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

The headline & text of this piece don’t do enough to describe the Trump regime’s extreme immigration agenda. It’s called white nationalism. Or white Christian nationalism. Or Christian nationalism. Pick one. Only one quote in the piece starts to describe it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

A reminder that the Fox News Cinematic Universe only focuses on black officials when they can tear them down. They used to mock Baltimore's Brandon Scott as a "DEI mayor" but now that homicide rates have plummeted they're just pretending he doesn't exist.

"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social

The dollar typically strengthens in times of economic or geopolitical strife. But that isn’t what happened in the months since Donald Trump has returned to the White House

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

*truth

U.S. may remove capital requirements that were implemented as a result of the Global Financial Crisis 🚨 Probably Fine? www.ft.com/content/9019...

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

🤷🏼‍♂️

The party of family values doesn’t care if more kids kill thenselves. Horrifying.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

🇺🇸 Cory Booker is now into his 20th hour of urging Americans to get into "good trouble ... necessary trouble." 🇺🇸 “This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” he said but an hour ago. “This is not a partisan moment, it is a moral moment. Where do you stand?” 🇺🇸 With YOU, my very good man. ✊🏼

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock? DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As Orwell predicted.

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

Donald John Trump is a felon and a Russian asset. You don't need CIA or FBI intel to come to that conclusion.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.
